1979 911 SC "The Silver Bullet"

Well, I inquired a new project over this past winter. I sold me 1975 911 to a friend/fellow member here on Pelican. It is a silver 1979 911 Coupe, that came with a Hot Rod 3.0 liter that is built out to a 3.4, twin plug with 50mm PMOs carbs. I purchased the car knowing that the transaxle needed some work and got that completed over the winter/spring and transaxle already had a Guards LSD in it. Bill Rader Motorsports in Las Vegas did the repair. Transaxle is back in the car and running and driving great. Not sure what the future plans are but for now I am driving and enjoy the heck out of it.

Nice, I'm planning on a duck tail soon and will keep my stock lid to swap out when I feel like it.

Engine bay looks freaking Rad!
